It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he climbed Lion Mountain (Lulong Mountain), full of emotions, and wanted to build a towering pavilion on the mountain to look far and wide, detect treachery, and intimidate all directions. So he personally wrote the 'Record of Yuejiang Tower' and ordered all his ministers to write one as well. Among them, the one written by Grand Scholar Song Lian was the best and was passed down along with Zhu Yuanzhang's 'Record of Yuejiang Tower'. In the 'Record of Yuejiang Tower', Zhu Yuanzhang explained the reasons, functions, and styles of building the tower. According to Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, construction began, but due to various factors, only the foundation was built before the project was halted. It was not until 2001 that the people of Nanjing rebuilt the Yuejiang Tower on the original foundation, and it was completed and opened to the public. Yuejiang Tower is located at No. 202 Jianning Road, Gulou District, Nanjing, and is known as one of the four famous towers in Jiangnan. It is now a national 4A-level tourist attraction, with an entrance fee of 40 yuan. Most people are moved by the scenery and remember the tower, that is, the scenery comes first, followed by poems, paintings, such as 'Record of Yueyang Tower', 'Preface to Tengwang Pavilion', 'Yellow Crane Tower', etc. However, Nanjing's Yuejiang Tower is famous because of the 'Record of Yuejiang Tower'.
